AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Staffordshire we are identifying increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not understanding the way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And of course take care not to start up the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in WS15 Postcode - Nethertown Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Wednesday and I was on the way to help an elder lady who had put petrol in her diesel daughter's VW Jetta in Nethertown. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down on a rural road along the way to visit her family. I got her location punched straight into the Satnav and was with her within 60 minutes. I got to the destination and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing it she said, "I'm getting relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only just purchased it a couple of days back because my old one, which I'd used for in excess of 25 years, eventually stopped working". I got the job completed and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a precious Staffordshire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Nethertown - Wrong Fuel in Car Nethertown

I had enjoyed a wonderful evening cycling on my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the following morning as I set off to assist a young couple on holiday in Nethertown. They'd stopped after filling petrol in their winter grey Suzuki Verona, and the car was around half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the girl telling off her hubby for being so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this situation goes on regularly in Staffordshire and that it's in reality nothing to worry about, but he still had an earful. Unlucky boy. Anyways, I drained all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the correct fuel. As they drove down the road I waved so long and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
